    Upgrade woes


    G'day

    Currently on 1909 and trying to upgrade to 20H2. I always do clean installs when moving on to a new version of Windows 10 and have thus far never experienced any issues using the DVD method.

    I earlier began the process of creating a new ISO using the Media Creation Tool. That was fine, but when I went to burn the ISO to DVD (using the 'Burn disc image' option in Windows), it advised there was not enough space.

    I've never used or burnt Dual Layer discs, but that's what Microsoft advises using in this type of scenario. Can the built-in image burner in Windows create these discs? If not, can someone recommend a tool for this.

    Even better if someone could advise a way of downloading an ISO with exactly what I need so I can get it on my 4.7GB DVD, but I suspect that might not be possible.

    Thanks in advance

    :)

    Ultimate Upgrade Woes

    No worries guys, it was the old Microsoft 'pretending not to work, and then actually working (i.e. upgrading) on re-boot' bug at work again. When Microsoft are such large company, how do they manage to mess up like that - incredible!

    Thanks to anyone who took an interest and thought about it though. Cheers!

  4. Upgrade woes

    Video card or RAM need upgrading?

    Memtest: no errors after 10 hrs.
    I'm going to perform the Primetest, later on. Get back to you on that.
    I'm going to take it step by step, guys. I need to find the problem with this current computer. I might have to upgrade some components, so that it is still runnable. As for the new one, yes....i will build on it later. I need to find something decent 'gaming experience', all suggestions appreciated. THanks.
